| Summary: | Objective: to retrieve the experiences of a group of women regarding home birth. Method: qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, performed in the household of 11 women who had had their deliveries in the home environment and whose acquisition occurred from the snowball sampling technique. The data collection occurred from August to October 2017, through Thematic Oral History interview. The data were submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: The parturition in the household was involved by representativeness, family care, rituals and popular beliefs, allied to the midwife's representative work. Final thoughts: it is necessary to reflect the concerns of the models of obstetric care, constructed over the years, characterized by the gradual loss of the lead role and autonomy of women and their families, as well as encourage new possibilities to childbirth care, guided by the cultural, humanized, personified and integral care. |
